Amy Janac

A native of Bryan-College Station, Amy has a profound bond with Texas A&M. Prior to her time at the university, she attended Bryan High School. Her path within the university's ticket office, guided by her mother who was once a ticket office employee, commenced during her high school years.

Amy's commitment to her profession has led her to a full-time role as Senior Manager of Ticket Operations & Events at the 12th Man Foundation. Throughout the football season, she orchestrates the intricate dance of student ticketing: managing sports passes, coordinating student ticket pull and guiding the dedicated group of student workers who ensure the impeccable execution of this grand tradition.

“On ticket pull week, Amy arrives sometimes hours before other staff to make sure everything is ready to go when the windows open,” said Lacey Williams, vice president of ticketing. “She is the reason the ticket pull process has been successful year in and year out.”

Between football seasons, Amy seamlessly transitions into the role of preparation, readying for the next surge of Aggie passion. Overseeing the processes of sports pass sales through the Howdy portal and ensuring the timely procurement of those sports passes by eager students, Amy's influence is extensive. Furthermore, her responsibilities extend to ticketing Aggie Baseball and lending a helping hand to various other ticket office endeavors throughout the year.

“I have worked with Amy for 30 years now,” said Chris Carson, manager of ticket events and internal sales. “She is one of the most organized people that I have ever been around and is also the most giving person I have ever known. These are the qualities that have allowed our professional relationship and friendship to grow through the ups and downs over the years.”

Beyond the demanding world of ticketing, Amy's heart finds its greatest joy in family. A devoted aunt, her happiness derives from supporting her nieces and nephews in all of their endeavors. In addition to her dynamic professional role, she also manages her own online business — a testament to her tenacity and unyielding determination.

Amy's impact is also reflected in the development of the numerous student workers who have spent time in the ticket office during their college careers. Her deep understanding of their challenges is rooted in her own past experiences, as she once occupied their shoes. She values the moments when these young Aggies have positive experiences and lasting connections. It is heartwarming for her to see former student workers, now parents themselves, encouraging their own children to follow the same path.

In the tapestry of Aggie tradition and spirit, Amy stands as a shining example of dedication and devotion.

“Anyone who has pulled a ticket in the last 30 years has felt the impact that Amy Janac has made at this university,” said 12th Man Foundation President & CEO Travis Dabney. “Her role as the protector of this cherished tradition is a testament to her exceptional work ethic and passion for creating memorable experiences for every Aggie.”

If you have stood as a proud member of the 12th Man over the past three decades, take a moment to tip your hat to the incredible impact of Amy Janac — the architect of cherished experiences and enduring connections for students at Texas A&M.
